We are Lydia Stern and Terren Judson. Photographer and Craftsman. Your adventurous and creative team in documenting and displaying. Mountain Magic Media’s photography services is all about showcasing the love, ensuring our clients are featured in their most flattering light. We make our creations epic by crafting stunning products for you to share with your loved ones and cherish for a lifetime. We pride ourselves in providing an enjoyable, comfortable, and of course, memorable professional photography experience in Crested Butte, Colorado and beyond. We highlight the beauty of our mountains and nature landscapes while having your personality shine through in each image. We hope our work feels more like an exciting adventure as you explore with us!

Other things we love besides making magic: spending time by the river with our two lovable mountain mutts (rescue pups, #adoptdontshop), hiking or over-landing in the summer, skiing or snowmobiling in the fluffy snow in the winter, and planning our next travel adventure (sometimes even to the beach!). We do love an occasional night out especially if there’s music or sushi involved. But even more, we love the nights staying in, sharing a home-cooked meal with friends, lounging in our living room hammocks, sipping a cup of tea while completing a jigsaw or crossword puzzle, reading a good book, or stargazing from the hot tub (it was a rescue too!).

About her, from him: Lydia has been passionate about photography for over a decade (7 years full-time professional). She has a gift of not only creating beautiful imagery, but also of making people feel comfortable in front of her lens. She can direct the scene if needed, using action cues to put people at ease with natural posing. She is stealthy when she wants to blend in with the scene in order to capture the candids. Her approach to photography (and to life in general) is a healthy balance of being assertive while also being able to go-with-the-flow of any situation. She is committed to having your style and vision shine through in all the magic moments. (You’ll love reliving them forever!)

About him, from her: Terren (we call him T) is the most hard-working person I know. His dedication to our projects together is outstanding from start to finish. He is the master of scouting the perfect locations and lighting. He anticipates my every need during a shoot, often handing me the gear I’m thinking of asking for before I even get a chance to say the words. (It’s like real magic!) He is an expert kid and dog-wrangler. He has a sharp eye for the little details when I am focused on the overall picture, and often he offers a fresh perspective or new angle. He is hand-crafting the most exquisite keepsake boxes that we are including in every package offered by Mountain Magic Media. (You’ll cherish them forever!)
